Very nice! I really like the little accenting that bring out the individual style.

Was the yellow strip painted or stick on?

DK. Looks like it could but I'd confirm w/Suncoast.

By the very definition, the Porsche cannot be 'rice' - although I've got admit, I am surprised to hear the term thrown around here. I had to google it to see if the term somehow became not racist over the past few years. I think that folks could make an argument that the RWB cars could be considered quite 'ricey' but I think they're badass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner
Check it.

by wiki's definition anyway, "The pejorative is often intended to denigrate cars which have been modified cosmetically to give a false impression of high performance, but are not actually capable of it." - the Porsche is always capable of high performance, so technically it cannot be rice.

I understand that culturally it is 'generally' acceptable to use the term, but imagine. Any other pejoratives in place of "rice" and you could see how it might rub some folks the wrong way.

I'm not offended, but again, it kind of surprised me on this forum.

Personally, I appreciate the stripe on some wheels, but not all.

good times.

I prefer to use the more PC term "too tokyo drift" instead of rice. Quite fond of rice. And stripes on wheels, too.
